Skoda Kushaq Facelift
New Kushaq facelift is going to come with a much sharper and modern look than its older model. Inspire from Skoda’s new global design language will see changed bumpers, new front grills, updated LED headlamps and taillamps, and new 17-inch alloy wheels. From the pictures revealed during testing, it is clear that the silhouette of the SUV will remain the same but a freshness will definitely be seen in the look.
Interior and new features
Talking inside, the new Kushaq is now coming with more premium touch than ever before. Its cabin will see better quality materials and finishes. The company can also offer a new dashboard layout and center console design which will make it more modern.
Its feature list is also going to be greatly upgraded. Now it can be found in premium features like Level 2 ADAS suite, large touchscreen infotainment system, all-digital driver display, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and powered driver seat.
Engine and performance
As far as the engine is concerned, no major changes have been made to the Skoda Kushaq facelift. This SUV will come with two turbo-petrol engines as before. 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI engine that gives 115 PS power and 178 Nm of torque, and 1.5-liter four-cylinder TSI engine that generates 150 PS power and 250 Nm of torque.
The same transmission options are also expected to continue the same configuration with – 1.0L engine with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox, while 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox with 1.5L engine will be found. This means that the driving performance will be as smooth and powerful as before.
Launch
Let me tell you that many photos of testing have come out, so that it is clear that the company is not going to launch it very far. The new Skoda Kushaq facelift is believed to be launched in the market either by the end of this year or early 2026.

Talking about the price, given the premium updates found in it, there can be a slight increase in its price. However Skoda will try to keep it affordable so that it can give a tough competition to cars like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Volkswagen Taigun in the SUV market.
